Power = Voltage x Current.
You can, but that would be a really tacky way to supply a built-in fan heater.Thanks Ban All Sheds, so in that case couldnt i just put a 13amp plug on it.
I'm surprised you've never seen portable 3-bar electric fires.I thought the max load was about 2000w before needing to fir an double pole switch?
Assuming the heat is supplied by electric yes 13A fuse, however hydraulic heaters only take power for the fan from the electric supply, three fan speeds give three heat outputs, for that type 1A would be enough.
There is no internal fuse in my Myson, and as a fixed appliance there is no need for the manufacturer to fit one, they can simply state in the commissioning instructions this appliance should be protected by a 3A fuse, I will agree with a portable appliance it must be supplied with a 13A plug with a fuse selected to protect the cable, but this does not apply with fixed appliances, it is common to find boiler manufacturers state 3A fuse must be used.But the fuse is to protect the connecting cable not the fan which will be internally protected (either by a fuse or heat sensor). So once again a 13 amp fuse is OK. Elsewhere in Europe it would be protected by a 16 amp MCB without a problem.
Indeed, so I suspect the OP's "1500" was probably a typo.One would normally expect the elements in a total electric to be all the same, so 800, 1600, 2400 ...

You would think they could fit one, then.It turned out the fuse recommended was a special semi-conductor fuse, which protected the solid state relay if an element when short circuit, so good reason to fit a fuse.
Oh right, that must be an insurmountable engineering problem.The point was made if they fitted the fuse inside the equipment there was a heat problem from the fuse,
Just of the top of my head - fit it somewhere else, perhaps.and where it would have been fitted was hard to assess,
even in an area where really only a gas safe registered person is allowed to enter,
